- 0.25 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
Wash all vegetables thoroughly under cold running water.
Peel the cucumber if desired. Slice it lengthwise into quarters, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Core and chop the tomatoes into wedges or large chunks.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into half-moons.
Remove the seeds and stem from the green bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips or small chunks.
In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and green bell pepper.
Add the Kalamata olives to the vegetable mixture.
Crumble or cube the feta cheese and gently add it to the bowl.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well-coated. Be careful not to break up the feta too much.
Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately.
